Yee Hong’s February Meeting – What are your strengths?

The members of the Yee Hong’s Culture Change Coalition shared an afternoon of collaboration and celebration in preparation of the “Discovery” phase of their Appreciative Inquiry culture change process.  The team will enter this second phase of the journey over the course of the next several months.

The members first interviewed each other to identify individual strengths, skills they were proud of and some of their hidden talents. Identifying strengths is a key component of the second Discovery portion of the Appreciative Inquiry process.  The room was filled with laughter and conversation.  Each CCC member learned about and shared the strengths of their partners with the larger group. To celebrate the festivity of Chinese New Year, members took turn in guessing each other’s Chinese Zodiac based on their strengths. One key take-away from this experience was the emphasis of teamwork, that our diversity is an asset that allows us to achieve more.

Based on our strengths approach, we also determined Yee Hong’s strengths as an organization. The group members felt a strong desire to establish a culture that continues to focus on quality of care, with attention given to values similar to Yee Hong’s core values, such as respect, compassion, commitment and excellence. Yee Hong’s CCC looks forward to bringing forth the positive transformations in Yee Hong!
